temporary paint

I need a paint that can be removed upto 1 week from application. It
must be white and not removable with water alone. The removal method
could be chemical
or mechancial but myust be very easy and quick. The chemical must not
be environmentally unfriendly, toxic or dangerous.
ANy ideas welcomed

He cleaned it off using a Soilax and paint thinner mix

Poster paint should wash off easily with
water, depending on the surface it's applied
to. I used to do Xmas scenes on downtown store
windows using poster paint mixed with liquid
soap. The soap acts as a wetting agent for the
application and eases removal later when re-wetted.

The originator of the thread did not mention
what it is being painted, but here's another
idea. Use clear (transparent) low-tack self-stick
shelving paper, applied to the object or surface
to be painted. Then you can use acrylic artist paint,
water-base house paint, or whatever will work and
simply strip the shelving paper later when the
painting is to be removed. Clean and simple if
the surface to be painted is suited to this method.

My cousin used to borrow my old 46 Ford Deluxe every Thanksgiving for
the KU football game.

They would paint it and 4 or 5 VW beetles with blue and gold poster
paint and make the trek to KC each year.
I know they got rained on a few times, but the poster paint didn't
seem that much for wear.
He cleaned it off using a Soilax and paint thinner mix and I never saw
any left over blue from the poster paints.
He also waxed it for me too!

It looked cute, the old Ford with the VWs behind it heading down the
highway. And that ole Flathead made it every trip without a
breakdown.

Gee, I wish I still had that old heap!

Try hear, no personal connection but I have used this paint

Use as a spray or brush paint, the paint is water car wash proof and
removes easily with the proprietary remover.
